11.14
The Exchange may accept a trading record period of less than two financial years for the purposes of rule 11.12A(1) (and an accountants' report covering a shorter period than that specified in rule 11.10) and waive or vary the ownership and management requirements in rule 11.12A(2) and (3) for prospective new applicants with reasons acceptable to the Exchange in the following cases:
(1) in respect of newly-formed "project" companies (for example a company formed for the purposes of a major infrastructure project);
(2) in respect of Mineral Companies; and
(3) in exceptional circumstances under which the Exchange considers it desirable to accept a shorter period.
Note: Where the Exchange accepts a trading record of less than two financial years, the applicant must nevertheless still meet the cash flow requirement of HK$30 million for that shorter trading record period.
